Trivial things that make you happy - Part 3 - The Happyning

At my gp surgery, the doctor is friendly and efficient, the receptionist kindness itself, and the nurse is great craic. After years of enduring a condescending pig of a doctor, a miserable cow on reception, and no practice nurse, it makes a wonderful change.

I never thought I’d live to see the day when a song from Aphrodite’s Child’s 1972 album ‘666’ would be used in a car ad.

Drunk after only a bottle of wine. I've become such a lightweight after 18 months off the booze. On the plus side I am listening to The Carpenters on YT. I can be such a maudlin fecker.

The above wasn't true, I lost a bet with a Boardsie and they told me I had to say the above :pac:

I'm all excited about getting me first jab tomorrow. I've been looking forward to it for a few days now but it's a bit like the night before Christmas tonight. I never thought I'd be so excited to see a little prick

Music and drink go hand in hand, if that's what you like put it on and turn it up !!

I'm having some red wine which is going down too well, listening to some good Indie guitar bands..

Two TH. Today, a crap morning turned into a happy afternoon. Second, getting my second Covid vaccination tomorrow. I'm all excited!

You may have heard of the sting operation on all the crooks with 'secure' smartphones ? They only handed out five phones.

The rest of them were distributed through a pyramid scheme where each criminal got a percentage of the cost and fees from the ones they sold on.

One has just gotten one's first jab.

No side effects apart from I now speak and wave my hand like the Queen.

I wish I were as excited as the rest of ye with regards to getting the vaccines.

I'm so bad with needles that even seeing, hearing or thinking about them makes me faint

I am probably in the last or second last cohort to get called but I actually think the waiting is making my anxiety worse just knowing what is to come down the road.

One of my sons is the same , I have to go with him if he needs bloods done , dentist etc .
I explained when I was getting my first vaccination done that he has a massive phobia of needles , what would happen when it's time for him to get his .
They said there's no issue with a person having someone with them in a situation like that , and they'll also bring you straight in , no waiting around .

Dunno if that helps in any way Shelley.

Oh that's great Mam. I am exactly the same as your son. I always joke that I could never get a secret procedure done as I would have to bring someone with me

I would have to get my dad to come with me but I didn't think that he would be allowed in. I was expecting that he would have to wait in the car and depending on what center I get called to, it could be a long horrible trek if you are after fainting.

Glad it eased your mind a little Shelley!
They said just to say it to whoever is at the check in desk , they'll take it from there
